In Progress Gottlieb El Dorado

[myPinballs]

Going to be starting a side project soon, to keep my mojo alive. Delving back into the Wedge head EM era Maybe if it gets sorted to a good enough standard in time, i'll bring it to pinfest.

It's going to be a slow burn one as the game needs ALOT of work.. One part i am looking forward to is cabinet restencil once the weather gets better outside.

Also the initial fault finding and sorting out is always very rewarding. I like the get these old em games working first before a mega strip down. ie trace the contact issues first and get it running reliably logic wise.

Let me know what you think about El dorado as a game and other EM wedge head chat welcome to!

It’s a classic Jim.

One I remember playing in a chippy many years ago! Yes I'm that old! Free games were fairly easy we used to sell them, chippy guy said we were making more than him so he got rid!

15 drop targets, 4 flippers and a cool layout, one of the best wedge heads for game play. Gottlieb reused the layout multiple times including on target alpha

Im pretty sure it was on the Beeb and not Channel5.

Not enough soft core pron scenes for it to be on channel5 at launch.
